My wife is turning… *gasp* …30
Last night, we celebrated Natalie’s hitting the big three-oh (actually not until Friday, but her exam schedule dictated that we party a little early). I hate going with large groups to just about any restaurant, but we found the Yard House restaurant at Paseo Colorado in Pasadena to be reasonably accommodating, even though we had so many people they had to split us up. After dinner we went back to our apartment for some heavy drinking. Natalie doesn’t get drunk very often, but whenever she does, there’s bound to be some priceless entertainment. There’s almost nothing on earth funnier than Natalie when she’s drunk. We all decided that before the next time she gets liquored up, I need to buy a video camera, because the still shots just can’t capture some of the things she says when her mental filter is turned off. :)

 A toast to Natalie. At this point my camera was drunk, hence the blurriness. :) |

 Soon enough, though, Natalie started acting loopy. |
 Natalie and her brother, Alex, react with glee to photos of her being a loon. |
 After the young ‘uns left, things got even more strange. Here Natalie tries to teach Ben some dance moves. |
 Everyone in this photo is drunk, but I probably didn’t need to tell you that. |
Why is it that most people only start acting like me AFTER they get drunk?? :/
Looks like a good time was had! Tell Natalie I said i’m ordering her some Depends undergarments to help celebrate her voyage into the great abyss :> Watch out if she starts going through a list of names before yours is the right one she spits out when talking to you…
Happy birthday, Natalie!
hahaha good times good times!
You look like me… I’m never in the photos of events. Aaron, change your white balance to tunsten or ambient light so that the images don’t look yellow.
Hi Mona. Yeah. They are pretty yellow, but it’s representative of reality, because of the lights we have. I actually individually desaturated the yellows quite a bit from the photo before posting. I didn’t want to go too far, though. Sometimes, I can’t decide whether it’s better to represent reality or to go for an “ideal” representation of color, which may be completely artificial.
